Abstract: The dynamics and kinetics of drying of intermediate product for nickel catalyst are studied. The unity of mass transfer mechanism in this material at different drying temperatures is shown. The temperature intervals of drying rational from the perspective of preserving the technological properties of the finished product and labor protection are determined. It is shown that the kinetics of drying of the studied object affects the hydrodynamic conditions in the machine. The influence of the size of dried granules on the kinetics of the drying process is researched. The possibility of an intensification of the drying process by decreasing the size of the drying object, by increasing temperature with the allowable attrition and the quality requirements of the finished product is shown.

The aim of the research is the selection of drying operating parameters of a typical capillary-porous material - intermediate product of nickel catalyst used in chemical technology, in particular for the conversion of methane. Drying of the intermediate Product Producing Catalyst (PPC) is important in providing the desired properties of the finished catalyst, and therefore the determination of operating parameters of rational drying PPC is of considerable interest.

Intermediate product of nickel catalyst - PPC is a typical capillary-porous body having micro pores and transient pores, transfer of moisture in which is carried out by combined mechanisms of mass transfer typical of capillary-porous materials (capillary transfer, membrane flow, tight vapor diffusion, and others.) [1 - 3]. PPC in its composition comprises kaolin, magnesium oxide, nitrate and nickel carbonate (apparent density of the material - 1250 kg/m3, the true density - 1920 kg/m3). As it was shown in the researches of PPC total pore volume is 0.28 cm3/g, pore volume with a radius of 100 A is 0.03 cm3/g, and the rest volume (0.25 cm3/g) - is finer pores.

It is important to have information about the fields of moisture content of the drying facility for the technology-related research, in particular, when selecting drying. It gives an idea of some of the laws governing the internal moisture transfer.

The moisture distribution in the samples of PPC was determined by gravimetric method, its advantages over others are shown in the research [1]. Moisture fields were studied during the laboratory drying of model samples made of fine powder PPC because they satisfy the requirements to the object of the research moisture fields content by weight [1]. To eliminate the influence of thermal diffusion on mass conductivity in the drying process all experiments were carried out under the conditions close to isothermal, the samples were first incubated at a temperature of experience. The moisture distribution in the sample as described in [1] was analyzed in certain intervals, the local humidity values were calculated according to the dry material. Error weighting method is less than 0.5 % moisture content [1].

As for the analysis of moisture field content, the average integral moisture content obtained from the distribution curves quite accurately coincided with their corresponding values on the drying kinetics curves obtained under the same conditions (Fig. 1).

It was found that the moisture field does not contain the test material inflection points in the range of humidity ((45 ± 1) %>), the humidity on the surface decreases gradually, reaching an equilibrium value after 2-7 hours from the beginning of the experiment (depending on the drying temperature).

The pattern of moisture content distribution determines the size of the sample and remains unchangeable - both at the temperature of the material below 100 °C, and at the temperature above 100°C, indicating that this material is a single mechanism for mass transfer throughout the range of temperatures tested [1, 2].

It is important for many capillary-porous and colloidal materials (product quality assurance) to have the value drops of moisture content within the material in the drying technology. The presence of excessive humidity fluctuations leads to disruption of the material structure (cracking, warping) [3].

Figure 2 shows the differences between the moisture content and the surface sections of the central test samples during drying at various temperatures.

Figure 3 shows the change in moisture content in the center and on the surface of dried samples PPC.

As follows from the graphs, the effect of temperature fluctuations on the moisture content in the material occurs at the temperature lower than 100 °C when the increase in temperature leads to the increase in the moisture gradient at the initial drying step, however, after reaching a maximum point of the decrease in the gradient at higher

humidity, drying gets faster and therefore the final drying step mode corresponding to higher temperature has lower moisture gradient values in the material.

At temperatures above 100 °C the increase in the temperature at the initial stage of drying does not lead to the increase in the moisture gradient, while at the final stage there is a picture similar to that which occurred in the development of the field at a temperature below 100 °C: if the temperature is higher, the humidity difference in the body is lower.

The consideration of the dynamics of the field moisture content in the material is explained mainly by the temperature and concentration dependence of the coefficients of mass transfer and mass conductivity. A significant decrease in the mass conductivity of the test material is obviously connected with the decrease in moisture content. In the process of drying this circumstance leads to the fact, that decrease in moisture moves the mass transfer problem to steadily internal diffusion region [1].

In this connection, at the first stage of the drying process the kinetics affects both external and internal diffusion, so increase in drying temperature affects the moisture in the material drops both in mass conductivity coefficient and in the mass transfer coefficient. At the final stages of drying the role of the external resistance is small, and gradients are formed in the body, the value of which is determined by the mass

conductivity coefficient. The increase in the temperature in these conditions, causing a significant increase in mass conductivity coefficient, leads to natural moisture reduction gradients in a material.

Based on the analysis of variations in humidity in the material it can be concluded that the drying process PPC holding at t = 120.. .150 °C is characterized by lower values of moisture drops than t ~ at 100 °C. It should cause less mechanical stresses in the material and, therefore, less dusting and cracking of the catalyst.

Thus, the research allowed us to recommend drying process conditions in the temperature range 120 .150 °C, as more suitable from the perspective of preserving the technological properties of the product and safety (due to hazard of catalyst dust).

Drying of PPC flows in an environment with the kinetics of the process is significantly affected by the hydrodynamic conditions in the machine. Figure 4 shows curves of drying granules PPC 0.01 m in diameter and a length of 0.02 m measured at various air flow rates.

With the increase in the speed from about 5 to about 11 m/s, the drying time of the material at 120 ° Cs = 45 % to Cf = 4 % reducing ~ 40 %, a further increase in speed has no appreciable effect on the processing time.

This is explained by the fact that at speeds higher than 10 m/s the external resistance is virtually removed and the problem moves to internal kinetics. Consequently, the reduction in the drying time of the catalyst by increasing the rate of coolant is only possible in the range of V <10 m/s.

The research into the effect of the size on the kinetics of dried granules process was also conducted (Fig. 5). When drying up from Cs = 45 % to Cf = 4 % the change of determined size from 0.02 m to 0.01 m reduces the drying time ~ 25 %, and from 0.01 m to 0.005 m by 12 %. These data allow us to assess the effect of intensifying the process by reducing the size of the granules.

Granules PPC are to a certain extent easily abradable (dusting material). Due to hazard of dust and further processing conditions, the drying process tends to be carried out at the conditions excluding increased abrasion of the granules. Internal stresses in the material, leading to the development of micro cracks help to increase its resistance to abrasion. These stresses arise in the material due to large differences in moisture content and the temperature through the thickness of the material [3].

The survey showed that the moisture content of the fields, increase in the drying temperature to 100 °C PPC is accompanied by the increase in moisture content gradients. Further growth of the temperature (up to 150 °C) causes reduction of these differences, but their development in time occurs more rapidly. In general, the resulting effect of stresses in the material when the temperature rises from 100 °C to 150 °C due to the presence of oppositely acting factors (moisture reduction gradients and the increase in the speed of formation of the material) may be such that the drying conditions at 120.. .150 °C will not be worse in abrasion than at 100°C.

Thus, possible material intensification of the drying process by increasing the temperature of the drying agent from 100.120 °C to 120.140 °C given the allowable abrasion requirements of the product and its quality should be considered.

Conclusion. The intermediate product of nickel catalyst - PPC is a typical capillary-porous body having micro pores and transient pores, transfer of moisture in which is carried out by combined mechanisms of mass transfer characteristic of capillary-porous materials (capillary transfer, membrane flow, tight vapor diffusion, and others).

The dynamics of drying PPC was researched. The unity mass transfer mechanism in the drying material at a temperature either below or above 100 °C was shown. The temperature intervals of drying rational from the point of view of preserving the technological properties of the finished product and labor protection were determined.

It was shown that the kinetics of drying PPC affects the hydrodynamic conditions in the machine. The influence of the size of dried granules PPC on the kinetics of the drying process was researched. The possibility of accelerating the process by reducing the size of the drying object was shown. In addition, the intensification of the process can be achieved by increasing the temperature of the material because of its allowable attrition and the quality requirements of the finished product.
